*FCS measurements were taken of the the 0.02% beads as well as solutions 2 and 5. According to our measurements, there were no spheres present in solutions 2 or 5. Because of this, we are going to prepare new sets of hydrogels (Part 4) in which we do not allow them to dry after filtration. We will instead immediately place them back into solution. We are hopeful that this will allow the hydrogels to stay separate instead of aggregating.
